You’re overweight. You want to lose weight. That’s excellent, you’ll feel better, and you’ll look better too. However, don’t jump right into the latest diet program.
Chances are, you did that before, and it didn’t work. You may even have put on more weight after you quit the diet.
Before you start, consider your motivation and your self-image.
Motivation First: Why Do You Want to Lose Weight?
There are many reasons to lose weight. For many dieters, it’s a matter of pride. You want to look great for a special event, such as a wedding, or another big occasion.
Your health may be a concern. Perhaps your doctor has told you that you need to lose weight. This time you know it’s serious — you have to do something. Your weight is affecting your life. You can’t do the things you used to do with your children; maybe it’s hard to walk without becoming short of breath.
Most dieters have experienced a single, motivating event which tells you that this time you’ll take weight loss seriously. You’re going to do it. You’ll lose weight — you know this.
If you feel at all halfhearted about weight loss, give yourself a little time. When it’s the right time for you to lose weight, you’ll know it.
Self-Image: Can You See Yourself Slim?
Imagine that you’re at your goal weight. You’ve lost five or 50 pounds, and you finally look the way you want to look. You have all the energy you need.
Can you see yourself at this weight in your imagination?
If you can see yourself at this weight, and can imagine how your life will change, it’s a great indication that you can successfully complete a weight loss program.
If you can’t see yourself at your ideal weight, ask yourself why this is so.
Your imagination is powerful. It’s much more powerful than willpower. If you can see yourself at your goal weight, and imagine your self doing the things that you can’t do now, your imagination will be the engine which powers your weight loss.
Your own internal motivation, and your self-image, are hugely important and you should think about them before you start any weight loss program.
If you’re highly motivated, and you can see yourself at your ideal weight, you KNOW that this time you will succeed at weight loss.
